Andreas Slominski
Eimer Wasser
Berlin, Germany: Deutsche Guggenheim, 1998
Various dimensions
Edition of 100 signed and numbered copies
The remnants of a performance which is presumably documented on the accompanying VHS cassette. Reportedly, Slominski placed the empty bucket between the books and shelves of the Deutsche Guggenheim gift shop. He then commissioned a plumber to install a water pipe to move water from the nearby toilet to flow into the bucket. Once complete, the pipe was removed again and the hole in the wall bricked up. The only remaining trace of the action was the full bucket of water.
The edition consists of a plastic bucket, video cassette, tap, and copper pipes, and is signed with the artist's fingerprint on an enclosed certificate.
